Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

The Qin family.

The Meng family relied on the Qin family for support. Given the situation, the only ones with the influence and willingness to intervene on the Mengs’ behalf were, quite clearly, the Qins. Lu Cheng didn’t consider any other possibility.

”No wonder! When I was heading out yesterday, I saw Meng Sijia rushing out of the company. It must have been because of this!”

After learning from Lu Cheng that the Meng family was behind what happened to Liu Fanglan, Shen Nian immediately understood the significance of seeing Meng Sijia earlier.

”Mmm.”

’With Meng Sijia as their mole inside the company, she must have learned about the investigation into Liu Fanglan’s death and rushed home to tell her family to find someone to back them up. That’s why the Qin family intervened for the Mengs right on cue.’

”So what do we do now? That Qin family has gotten involved. Are we just going to let the Mengs off the hook?”

Shen Nian had already heard a great deal about the Qin family’s ruthless ambition from the Chu family. With the Gu and Chu families currently in decline, the Qins were seizing the opportunity to expand their power. If the Qin family was determined to protect the Meng family, there was a real chance the Mengs would escape punishment this time.

’After all, Meng Chengyu didn’t dirty his own hands. If they pin all the blame on the ones who actually carried it out, and with the Qin family managing the fallout, it’s very possible they’ll get away with it...’

”Absolutely not!”

Lu Cheng knew there was plenty of injustice in the world. But this had happened on his watch. And besides, the Qin family were their enemies to begin with. Coupled with Meng Chengyu’s vile intentions, there was no way Lu Cheng was going to let them off so easily!

”Do you have a plan?”

Shen Nian looked at Lu Cheng, her eyes sparkling. ’He was so cool just now!’

”Mmm.”

”Then I’ll just wait for the results.”

Shen Nian didn’t ask what Lu Cheng’s plan was. She knew she’d find out sooner or later, anyway. Besides, she trusted him. She knew Lu Cheng would never let her down!

And Lu Cheng certainly didn’t disappoint her.

Just when the Meng family thought Meng Chengyu was in the clear thanks to the Qin family’s intervention, the situation suddenly took a dramatic turn.

The Meng family had been pulling strings to have Meng Chengyu transferred from out of town to B City. They thought it was a sure thing and that not even the business with Liu Fanglan would affect it.

But then, unexpectedly, both Meng Chengyu’s former department and the one he was trying to transfer into simultaneously received reports.

The reports stated that during his time at the company, Meng Chengyu had engaged in improper conduct, repeatedly sexually harassed female employees, and had even raped several of them. His actions caused severe physical and psychological trauma to the victims, and had even driven one person to suicide. The details of his crimes were appalling.

More importantly, the reports were accompanied by a mountain of evidence and personal testimonies from the victims themselves.

The reason none of this had come to light before was that the Meng family had kept it all under wraps, using a combination of bribes and threats to silence everyone involved.

Now, the story was spreading like wildfire, causing a massive uproar.

Suddenly, Meng Chengyu’s name was on everyone’s lips throughout the city—and not in a good way.

By the time the Meng family got word of it, the story about Meng Chengyu was already public knowledge. It was too late to suppress it.

Shen Nian had been keeping a close eye on the Meng family, so she found out almost immediately.

’No wonder Lu Cheng was so confident back then. Turns out he was holding a time bomb this big all along!’

’But there was no way he could have gathered so much rock-solid evidence in just a couple of days. He must have started planning this a while ago.’

’Could it be... that he started planning all this right after he found out what Meng Chengyu did to me?’

At this thought, Shen Nian’s jaw dropped in astonishment.

’I think... I’ve figured it out!’
